Jurgen Klopp might've been onto something when he name-checked Tottenham Hotspur as title contenders this season.
Spurs ran out 2-0 winners when Everton came to town on Saturday night, producing a typically calculated performance to thwart Frank Lampard 's side. With Antonio Conte 's fingerprints firmly on this resurgent Tottenham, it seems to have been forgotten that they're only one point adrift of Premier League leaders - and their bitter rivals - Arsenal, and level with champions Manchester City.
All the plaudits appear to be going to the team on the other side of north London, yet it's Spurs who Klopp backed to be in the title mix when it counts. Speaking in July, the Liverpool manager handed Conte and co a huge compliment, made even more noteworthy by the fact Klopp knows exactly what it takes to keep battling at the summit until the last hurdle.
